Bozo criminal for today comes from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a weird hockey tradition resulted in a bozo being charged. For many years, there has been a tradition in Detroit of throwing octopus onto the ice during Red Wings games. Fans of the Nashville Predators started a tradition of tossing catfish onto the ice in 2003. While that may be fine in Nashville, it didn’t go over so well recently in Pittsburgh when bozo Predators fan Jacob Waddell tossed a fish onto the ice during the Stanley Cup final. Our bozo was quickly arrested and charged disorderly conduct, disrupting a meeting and possession of an instrument of crime. And just how did he get this “instrument of crime” into the arena? He said he ran over the poor fish with his truck to flatten it and then stuffed it into his pants. Watch our for those sharp fins!

Bozo criminal for today from Okaloosa County, Florida was foiled by modern technology. Bozo Chandler Baker stole a cellphone when the owner let him borrow it to use during a party. The owner contacted the cops, who used their cellphone to place a Facetime call to the thief. Of course he answered it. The cop then took a screenshot of our bozo’s smiling face. He was positively ID’ed by the owner and our bozo was arrested and charged with grand theft.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report from Augusta, Maine. Our bozo walked into City Center offices and dumped a cup full of live bedbugs on the counter. City employees scrambled to corral the bugs but, in spite of their efforts, they flew around, causing the entire city office complex to be closed. A bug control swat team was called in and the offices were exterminated. Our bozo was tracked down and he said he unleashed the bedbug attack after being turned down for government assistance. Officials are trying to figure out exactly what to charge him with.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report from Darlington, South Carolina where we have another bozo foiled by modern technology. It seems bozo Ezekiel Moore had carjacking on his mind. He yanked the driver out of the car in a hospital parking lot and attempted to drive away. Only one problem, the driver had the key fob in his pocket, and the engine shut down before our bozo could leave the area. He then tried to lock himself in the car, but the owner kept unlocking the doors using the key fob. The cops were called and our bozo was quickly placed under arrest.

Bozo criminals for today from Everett, Washington, obviously forgot Bozo Rule Number 2230382: Don’t use a blowtorch when there’s cash involved. Our bozos had the bright idea of using a cutting torch to break into an ATM. While the torch did cut the metal of the ATM, it also incinerated all the cash inside. Our bozos got away with nothing, but they did leave something behind. A nice clear picture of them on the security camera. The cops have already ID’ed the suspects and expect to make an arrest shortly.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Nashville, Tennessee, where the cops were called to a local movie theatre. Perhaps to break up a fight between patrons? Nope. Maybe someone tried to get in without paying? Nah. Someone went ballistic when he was told they were out of popcorn? Yep. It all began around 11:30 pm when bozo Paul Hampton walked up to the concession stand with an empty bucket of popcorn and asked for a refill. They told him the snack bar was closed for the evening and that’s when all the trouble started. He threw the empty bucket at an employee and then knocked over a display. The cops were called, and it only got worse from there. He threw a trash can at the officer, punched her in the face and attempted to bite her. Backup was called and our bozo was arrested and charged with assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. No word on what movie he wanted to watch while he enjoyed his popcorn.

Our bozo for today is not a criminal but his actions definitely merit our attention. A driver in Adelaide had his dashboard camera rolling when he stopped at an intersection. Apparently he didn’t stop to the satisfaction of a pedestrian, who is shown on video loudly criticizing the driver for his improper stop. He continues shouting abuse at the car as he proceeds to walk across the street and…straight into a pole. Undeterred, he continues his tirade as the car drives away.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Yiwu, China, where the local police had set up a drunk driving checkpoint. Our bozo spotted the cops and pulled over about 100 meters from the stop. He jumped out of his Mercedes and scrambled up a hill, before slipping and falling back down. He then began pulling up grass and stuffing it into his mouth, in an apparent attempt to disguise the alcohol on his breath. All this commotion attracted the attention of the cops, who investigated. Even though he denied drinking and driving, he was taken to the police station where he flunked a blood alcohol test. He’s busted!

Bozo criminal for today comes from Bay City, Michigan, where courthouse employees regularly scan every purse and package brought into the building. But, it’s safe to say they’d never seen anything like this. Our bozo put her purse on the conveyor belt and noises started coming from inside. The security guard was shocked by what he saw on his screen. The image of a tiny squirrel monkey. The guard then politely asked the woman to show him her monkey, which she did. After determining the chimp was not a threat, he told her she would have to take the monkey outside, as the only chimps allowed in court are the lawyers. No charges were filed and she was instructed to find a monkey sitter.

Bozo criminal for today from Granbury, Texas, was not a happy drunk. Bozo Shaun Whitaker was at the local bar having a drink and one thing led to another and before you knew it, he was feeling mistreated. In fact he was upset enough that he texted 911 to complain that he had been over-served and over charged. He texted not once, not twice, but 35 times. Bad idea. The cops finally had enough and arrested him for abuse of 911.

No report today as our thoughts are with the victims of the Manchester bombing.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Crystal River, Florida, where the police department was really proud of their brand new “Don’t Drink and Drive” drunk driving awareness patrol car. Don’t get ahead of me now…The car was unveiled over the weekend during the big Pirate Fest celebration. Around 10:30 pm, bozo Paul Wallace crashed into the parked police cruiser, which had its flashing lights on. He, of course, said he never saw the vehicle. There were no injuries but our bozo was arrested for DUI and hauled off to jail in the brand new, and now damaged, “Don’t Drink and Drive” car.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Shanghai, China, where our unidentified bozo had just been fired from his job. So, he worked out an elaborate plan to get his revenge. He headed to a nearby ATM and, armed with a black magic marker, attempted to color over the lens of the security camera. Didn’t work, as the camera caught what happened next. He took a hammer from his bag and smashed the ATM. But, he wasn’t done. He then reached into his bag and brought out a container of lighter fluid and lit the machine aflame. The flames quickly spread out of control, and after his attempts to blow the fire out failed, he did what any bozo would do. He unzipped his pants and peed on it. He then made a hasty exit but was soon arrested by the cops, at which time he offered up the Bozo Excuse of the Week. He said, “Since I don’t have any money, I want to make sure that other people can’t get their money either.” He’s under arrest.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Washington County, Florida, where the cops pulled over a black Honda for a minor traffic violation. The officer noticed two small bags of white powder on the center console and then watched as our bozo tried unsuccessfully to cover the drugs with his cell phone. Under questioning, our bozo dug the hole even deeper for himself as he offered the cops a “hook-up” on Taco Bell food in the future if he would just ignore the dope. The officer thanked him for his offer and placed him under arrest, charged with intent to delivery and attempted bribery.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report from Plaistow, New Hampshire. Bozo Bernardo Lopez had what he thought was a foolproof plan for stealing air conditioners from the local Home Depot. He got himself a Home Depot staff apron and decorated it up, drawing flowers and the name “Shannon” on it. He then loaded two air conditioners on a cart, wheeled them out and loaded them into his pickup truck, thinking no one would question a man wearing a Home Depot apron. His mistake was going back into the store. That’s when the store manager realized no one named “Shannon” worked there and called the cops. When the cops arrived, he denied knowing anything about the incident, but he was unable to explain the presence of the “Shannon” apron in his back pocket. He’s busted!

The Bozo Criminal Report hopes everyone had a good Mother’s Day. Everyone, that is, except for our bozos for today from Navajo County, Arizona. The cops pulled over two bozos on I-40 in Holbrook and became suspicious after a police dog alerted to the scent of drugs. But there seemed to be nothing in the vehicle except for a large package brightly wrapped with Mother’s day paper. They wouldn’t dare, would they? Yep, they would. After unwrapping the present, they found 12 pounds of methamphetamine plus cocaine and a handgun for an estimated street value of $453,000. They spent the rest of Mother’s day in jail.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Mohave County, Arizona, where bozo Richard Norton was on parole, but wasn’t exactly staying on the straight and narrow. In fact, he had gotten together with several friends in a heroin dealing scheme. And, with the world being the way it is today, he didn’t call a prospective purchaser, he texted them. One problem, he got his contacts crossed up and texted the parole office with his offer of heroin for sale. Oops. Officers set up a sting and our bozo and six others were busted!

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in this one from the International File in London, England. Any woman who has a Snapchat account knows that they are likely to receive uninvited and sometimes explicit pictures from guys who think a photo of their privates will send any female into an uncontrollable state of excitement. When our bozo sent his privates pic to a woman at 1 am she decided to play along. He asked if she wanted to hook up, she told him “yes” and said her roommate wanted to take part also. And they wanted it now! When he asked for her address, she gave him the postcode for Buckingham Palace. Our bozo entered it into his GPS and said he’d be there in 20 minutes. He kept texting and asking for further directions even after he ended up at the gates of the palace. It was only when the guards threatened to arrest him and she sent him a smiling picture of the queen that he realized that he’d been pranked. Moral to the story. Keep your privates private.

Bozo criminals for today come from Lexington, Kentucky, where two University of Kentucky students were desperate to pass one of their final exams. So, they hit the books and studied really hard, right? Wrong. Maybe hired another student to tutor them? Nah. Devised an elaborate plan to break into the professor’s office and steal a copy of the test? Yep. Our two bozos got into the air duct system of the Multidisciplinary Science Building and made their way to the professor’s office. Once inside, they were unable to find a copy of the test. Undeterred, they returned later in the evening to give it another try. This time they were caught by the professor who was working late and returned after leaving to get something to eat. Oops. They face third degree burglary charges. And they still have to figure out a way to pass that final!

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report from Alliance, Ohio. It seems bozo Jeremy Clark hit a car and kept on driving. The victim followed him and confronted him when he stopped to use an ATM. When she questioned our bozo about the accident, he jumped into his car and sped away. The cops were called and they discovered that he left something very important behind. His ATM card. Using this information, they were able to quickly track him down and place him under arrest. Oh, and did we mention his blood alcohol level was .316, nearly four times the legal limit. And that he was wearing a t-shirt that said, “This Guy Needs a Beer.” Seems he needed a few too many.
